your physical reality in the third dimention? and did you doubt if maybe you were the only one who exists and all your loved ones and everything and everyone you know is somehow a product of an artificial reality that is known as our universe???
if so what conclusions did you come to and why?

It is good to question. This is something people over look. Take church as example. They have faith, believe, know that a good life will get them a good seat. But can there be more to it? What is real?
I am working on a site never before known/found. Here at this place there is much wisdom to be learned. What is real is real there. But it is not real! You see, something happen there. These inhabitants knew things we did not. They created an illusion to hide this sacred temple. Nothing changes, it stays the same every year. An there are illusions within illusions. All of it created using natural surroundings. SOO I had to come to grips with not only how this could be, but whom could have had the inteligence to basically ( They built the mountain, they carved the valley, the did something to the plants to make them grow and stay the same each year. ) Then they put a great amount of time into it to place images in the scenery. A mirrage. So what is reality? I have taken thousands of pictures of their work, studied it. It is real,yet quite impossible for us to do or even try to copy.

I have questioned my reality through the exploration of Zen and Christianity and Philosphy. My conclusion is thus: Human beings are individuals, but as individuals we believe that we have no control over our perceptions and our fate needs to be decided by a question that we cannot answer i.e. what is truth? My reality is my own even if I point to a mountain and call it a mountain doesn't mean that John will point to the same mountain and interpret it the same way as I do. In short, we as a human beings each have our own reality there is no universalism in this matter is simply just is and we will suffer for it if we struggle to understand.

Have you ever woken up, looked at the clock and it was say 8:34, you go back to sleep and have this massive dream, and feels like you've been in that dream forever, then you look at the clock and its only 8:35?
So its kind of safe to say that 1 minute concious life is like a million minutes in dream world.
After your body dies, people have an average of 6 minutes brain activity left. It is techinically possible to have another 3+ lifetimes (in your head) within that 6 minutes....so sometimes yes I do question how real I am.
I think the brain is extremly powerful. What if I am in one of my lifetimes right now becaus i got hit by a car and my brain knows Im not ready to handle dying yet..so everything is just figmenst of my imagination. I have a hard tie explaning, i hope you can follow.

Well, a few years ago I had a mental break down type thing (panic and anxiety disorder) and my retarded *** school put me in a mental health facility for about a week (which screwed me up worse.)
About the second day I was in there I started wondering if maybe I had been in the facility my entire life and every thing up until that moment was in my mind and I had some mind shattering epiphany that brought me out of it - yet I couldn't make peace with what was.
It was pretty ******' scary.
But then I got released and I was like "Oh yeah, This is life."
Or maybe it isn't...
Maybe this is just my imagination...
AGHHH!!

I think all of us, as children, question "Who Am I and How Can I Exist" not sure when I first asked myself that question, but, I know that I was not yet 12 years of age. I think at different periods throughout our life, we all question our existance, but, if you believe in a Higher Power, be it God, or whatever, and you trust the religion that you are brought up knowing, then those questions soon fade and the belief takes over.

Well, I've questioned it...
and my thought? All religious beliefs set aside, If life is an illusion, it's one heck of a good one! I've just decided to live life to the fullest...that's pretty much the only way to do it. Otherwise, what's the point of existing?

I did. Actually, I thought that possibly life itself was a big game show for some annoying kid who wanted entertainment. I decided to make myself the starring role.

Reality is relative to each person and their mental and emotional state.
